what do scientists and public say about Pluto these days?

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "Pluto planet" to get these possible sources:

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/08/060824-pluto-planet.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/5282440.stm
http://www.nineplanets.org/pluto.html
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14489259/

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
